In Support of Richard Falk

January 29, 2011

Nor Cal Truth    Jan 29, 2011

In case you did not know, 9/11 is being kicked around the UN right now in a bad way. From Veterans Today:

Richard Falk, UN Special Rapporteur on human rights in Occupied Palestine, is under fire for writing what is obviously true about the U.S. government and the media. Calls for his firing abound from the usual suspects.

 The Telegraph chimed in to further slander Falk’s comments and even called David R. Griffin a conspiracy theorist, as opposed to a highly advanced researcher of 9/11 and other subjects:

And he described David Ray Griffin, a conspiracy theorist highly regarded in the so-called “9/11 truth” movement, as a “scholar of high integrity” whose book on the subject was “authoritative”.

This is what Richard Falk had said:

“What fuels suspicions of [the 9-11] conspiracy is the reluctance to address the sort of awkward gaps and contradictions in the official explanations that David Ray Griffin (and other devoted scholars of high integrity) have been documenting in book after book ever since his authoritative The New Pearl Harbor in 2004 (updated in 2008).

Obama Comments on Ahmadinejad’s UN Address Concerning 9/11; Ahmadinejad Stands by his Position

September 25, 2010

 

by Brian Romanoff   Nor Cal Truth   Sep 25, 2010

On Thursday Sep, 23rd the President of Iran, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, stood at the podium of the New York United Nations Assembly and expressed his concern that there is more to the 9/11 events than the world has been told. Furthermore, he expressed if that is the case than we need to further investigate the events in an open tribunal. Ahmadinejad expressed remorse for the innocent civilians killed in the ensuing “war on terror”. From his speech at the U.N. :

…The event of the 11 September 2001 which has affected the whole world for almost a decade.  

All of a sudden, the news of the attack on the twin towers was broadcast using numerous footages of the incident.

Almost all governments and known figures strongly condemned this incident.

But then a propaganda machine came into full force; it was implied that the whole world was exposed to a huge danger, namely terrorism, and that the only way to save the world would be to deploy forces into Afghanistan.

Eventually Afghanistan, and shortly thereafter Iraq were occupied.   

Ahmadinejad then listed 3 semi-prominant viewpoints of the world in reference to the 9/11 attacks:

In identifying those responsible for the attack, there were three viewpoints.1- That a very powerful and complex terrorist group, able to successfully cross all layers of the American intelligence and security, carried out the attack. This is the main viewpoint advocated by American statesmen.

2- That some segments within the U.S. government orchestrated the attack to reverse the declining American economy and its grips on the Middle East in order also to save the Zionist regime.The majority of the American people as well as other nations and politicians agree with this view.

3- It was carried out by a terrorist group but the American government supported and took advantage of the situation. Apparently, this viewpoint has fewer proponents.

During this time the U.S. and other delegates walked out of the Assembly. The next day on Friday Sep 24th, the U.S. President Barack Obama had this to say about Ahmadinejad’s comments:  

“….for him to make a statement like that was inexcusable,”  ” It was hateful, it was offensive.” 

Sure seems like the ‘ol “you’re either with us or you are against us,” mentality (here too) we remember from our last sitting administration..Needless to say, Ahmadinejad stood by his comments in a press conference on Friday:

“The event was very suspicious, but I do not wish to pass judgment. I simply tried to offer a proposal for a humane solution to problems that have risen as a result of 9/11.”

“We are, of course, saddened by the fact that people were killed in 9/11. We have expressed our sympathy and solidarity with their relatives.”  

“But we would also like to bring to your attention that hundreds of thousands of people in our region, innocent people, were killed as the result of 9/11.”

The UN Still has no Definition of Terrorism.

May 4, 2010

source: Eye on The U.N.   May 4, 2010

There is no UN definition of terrorism

The UN has no internationally-agreed definition of terrorism.

The definitional impasse has prevented the adoption of a Comprehensive Convention on International Terrorism. Even in the immediate aftermath of 9/11 the UN failed to adopt the Convention, and the deadlock continues to this day.

U.N. Can’t Account for Millions Sent to Afghan Election Board

October 30, 2009

by T. Christian Miller and Dafna Linzer

The United Nations cannot account for tens of millions of dollars provided to the troubled Afghan election commission, according to two confidential U.N. audits and interviews with current and former senior diplomats. (Read both audits)

As Afghanistan prepares for a second round of national voting, the documents and interviews paint the fullest picture to date of the finances of the election commission, which has been accused of facilitating election fraud and operating ghost polling places. The new disclosures also deepen the questions about the U.N.’s oversight of money provided by the United States and other nations to ensure a fair election in Afghanistan.

“Everybody kept sending money” to the elections commission, said Peter Galbraith, the former deputy chief of the U.N. mission in Afghanistan. “Nobody put the brakes on. U.S. taxpayers spent hundreds of millions of dollars on a fraudulent election.” Galbraith, a deputy to the senior U.N. official in Afghanistan, was fired last month  after protesting fraud in the elections.
